| The nation�s pre-eminent breast cancer advocacy group, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, apologized on Friday for its decision to cut most of its financing to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screening and said it would again make Planned Parenthood eligible for those grants. |
I can't think of a single political issue that has popped up on my news feed on FB as much as this did. It was pretty remarkable. If it were not for FB, I would probably have missed this story, as would have millions of others.
That along with the quick death of SOPA are signs that maybe people do have a voice and some influence.
Now that I've said that, I am sure SOPA will come back in full foce and get passed next week along with a dozen other awful policies that screw the majority of the populace over.  |
